Adam Philips from comics!

A very angry comic book!

Robert Duvall and Tess Harper in "Tender Mercies," 1983.

Farewell to the great Robert Duvall. He made a lot of great movies, but 1983's "Tender Mercies" has a special place in my heart. It's a quiet, intimate movie, and it made me a fan of a certain stripe of country music.

Our president can’t wrap his head around the idea that people might come to the White House for reasons other than to praise him for all his imaginary accomplishments.

There's more animation in this single still drawing than there was in all those cartoons.

I wanna buy this kid lunch.

I’ll believe it when I don’t see it.

Incredible bullshittery here. "Period sis." "Slay queen." "Good husband."

I like how it looks like you've lined them up in heigh-order like they're in grade school.

Oh that's dope.

Splash page from Marvel Two-in-One #17 by Sal Buscema, with a woozy looking Spider-Man leaning on a rooftop chimney for support.

I also owned several pages of original art drawn by Sal B., all long gone now. Around 1980 a comics shop I occasionally visited in Paramus, NJ, had a bunch of his pages for not much money, and I picked up this lovely Marvel Two-In-One splash. I had a few Rom, Space Knight pages of his as well.

Three of the earliest issues drawn by Sal Buscema that I can remember. Marvel Team-Up cover not by him, but the other two are.

Sad news for fans of great comic book art. I never met Sal Buscema, but he was my first favorite artist, going back to his work on The Defenders, Captain America, and Marvel Team-Up in the 1970s.

"I didn't hear it. If you asked whether I've read it, well..."

Thank you!

Apparently my monthly limit on reading articles from NY Mag is zero. I haven't read anything from them in a while, and the site says I've reached my limit.

It appears that the White House edited this image using AI

Great thread.

Please, no.

So presidential!

I'll believe it when I don't see it!

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Every time you call out the lie.

Every time you call it murder.

You smack at totalitarian control.

Keep doing it.
Keep speaking the truth.
It matters.

Cover of "Thrillington," a very odd album by Paul McCartney under the name Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. The art shows a man with the head of a ram, wearing a tuxedo and playing a violin.

Current listening: "Thrillington," a full-on orchestral reimagining of the Paul and Linda McCartney album "Ram," recorded in the early 1970s and released years later. One of the weirdest entries in Sir Paul's back catalogue.

Dot's nice.
